Be it known that I, I. S. PIGOTT,Y of Central Station, Doddridge county, West Virginia., have invented a new and useful Improvement in Log-Wagons; and do herebyde'clare that ,the following is a. full, clear, and exact descrip-tion thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make andruse the same, reference beingl had to the accompanying driwings, forming part of this specicatiomi p n y This invention relates to on improved log-wagon, cart, or sled, and consists. in an upright frame arranged on the axle-tree or roller of a.' common log-wagon or cartor on the cross-piece of a. sled.

Apaiir of dogs is hung from the cross-piece of the frame, the cart hacked up to the log, nnd'lzhe frame turned down upon it, the dog-irons driven into the log, and thchorses on being started dran' 'upthe frame and swing the log lupon the carriage. In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is e front'v'iew of'my improved log-wagon.

Figure 2 is a. vertical longitudinal section thereof at the line :l: cv.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. f v

A. is the axle-tree of the log-wagon, or cross-piece of a. sled. B, the upright freine, steedied by thestraps or rods C, secured. tothe tongue o r pole of the wagon D.

When it is required to lond,` bock up the wagon against the log, and tip it np, as shown in tig. 2; iix the dogs in the log, and the dog-ring to any suitable attachment, la, prepared for it in the transverse portion of the frame, stort the horses forward, pulling on the chainE, thereby drawing donn the tongue D, raising the frame, and with it the log, which swings itself upon the wagon.

I claim es new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentp The log-wegen, constructed as described, having the freine B upon the axle A, and provided with the dogs grasping the timber, all operating as described, whereby theflepression of the tongue D raises the timber-end places it upon the axle A, and. within vthe frame B, as herein described, for the purpose specified.
